Definition
人才 (rén cái) refers to a talented person or talent as a resource (e.g., 人才市场 'job market for talent'). Unlike 才 (cái, abstract talent/suffix) or 天才 (tiān cái, genius), 人才 emphasizes the person as a valuable asset. Colloquially, it also means 'good-looking' (e.g., 他长得真人才), a sense not shared by 外貌 (wài mào, just appearance).
